    Sounds on the lighter side of a 3U and sounds great for me. :) Shaft stiffness?

    Is it worth asking if it's in the head heavy/stiff region?

    Oh I picked a light copy. 87g dry with plastic wrap so it's about 85.xx. Shaft is properly stiff. Like JJS stiff. They've gone with the 3 part hybrid frame again like they did with the JS12.

    If the shaft is at JJS level, there is no wonder that SWH uses it now. Seems like the RRI is not a good reference for any guess in terms of stiffness. It sounds like Victor created now something close to MX80.

    It actually is. Maybe a bit more head weight feeling at the top. But that's more due to the frame shape than actual head weight. But from what I've got with my MX80s they've definitely got tad noticeable more up top.

    So JJS like shaft and head weighted at the top? I hate you all, this stuff is expensive.

    It's not as head heavy though.

    Perks of being unattached. I get to spend on me.

    It would also be cheaper to live to a different country. The prices that you UK boys need to pay locally are sky high.

    Another thing to add I was bouncing shuttles with it. If you guys thought the JS12 feels good. This is even better. It's like just a step down from the classic SW feel.

    Hope that Europe get it as 3U. I'm bored by the flood of lean and skinny rackets from Victor.

    Do you like wine? Seems like you are something like the sommelier of rackets. ;)

    I actually don't like or dislike wine. I've been off alcohol for ages xD you could say I'm a sommelier of Victor rackets and older YY rackets

    So, subtracting 3.4g and 3.0g respectively for string wt and head wt would mean 85.0g / 37.0g... very nicely balanced racket.

    And the frame profile, is it like JS12 you say?
